Fonts with Symbols (symbols.ttf) won't get rendered (Copyright)

Aspose.Words Product Family
#1

Hello, currently I try to convert a Document to PDF with Aspose Words. Currently we have some Copyright Symbols inside our PDF and it won’t get renderd, even when embedding EVERY font…

Okai found the Bug.

When I use the windings.ttf and symbol.ttf from Office for Mac 2011 it will display the correct Copyright symbol even when created the DOCX on Windows.
BUT it won’t convert with the office version, so if I use the symbol.ttf from a windows system via copy it will work.

Also I still can’t set a compilance level which is aweful…

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words requires TrueType fonts when
rendering documents to fixed-page formats (JPEG, PNG, PDF or XPS). Make sure
you have all the Fonts installed on your machine you’re using to convert
Word document to image format. I would suggest you please read the
following articles:

  1. I’ve read all the articles
    2. Office for Mac uses TrueType fonts.
    3. Read what I write.
    4. Windows ships with symbol.ttf / windings.ttf - Version: 5.0
    5. Mac for Office has symbol.ttf / windings.ttf - Version 1.63d
    6. I Can’t use Aspose.Words on Linux with Symbol.ttf - Version 1.63d
    7. If I install Version 5.0 Mac for Office makes the same thing which Aspose does with Version 1.63d

    Your support ist aweful.
